How to cook deliciously - Grilled Beef Kebabs with Scallions, Cilantro, and Mint

1. Stage

Toast peppercorns and coriander in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling pan, until spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder, and process until finely ground.

2. Stage

Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, ginger, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in ground spices, and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in turmeric. Transfer scallion mixture to a large bowl, and let cool, about 20 minutes.

3. Stage

Add beef, cilantro, and mint to scallion mixture, and gently mix. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. Stage

Divide meat mixture into 16 pieces, then form each piece into a log, 1 1/2 inches thick. Slide a skewer lengthwise through center of each log. Place a lemon wedge on end of each skewer. Place skewers on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5. Stage

Preheat grill to medium-high. Season kebabs with salt and pepper. Arrange on grill, and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes. Carefully turn skewers a third of the way, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn skewers a third of the way again, and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer skewers to a plate, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.
